Solution to Minimize Bots

-reCAPTCHA
distinguishing digitalized text [OLD]

Old, yes but it does what it is supposed to do.
Its used a lot of places and it is well known.
It takes some time to write a bot that cracks it.

-SQ-PIX
you trace the object in a PIC [NEW]

Its newer but it has some mayor problems.
It uses flash not good for devices where you cant install flash on.
Or maybe if you use a device that hasnt got any mouse.
I doubt it would work on a PS3.
Plus I remember trying one and it took about 50 times as long than filling in a reCAPTCHA form.
Especially since I failed at it once even though I actually did what I was supposed to do.
Also I think this might be easier to hack that reCAPTCHA.

-ESP-PIX
you distinguish all 4 items to a specific group [NEWEST]

I like the idea it wasnt too hard to fill in.
Should be just to hard to hack as reCAPTCHA.
Its rather big and ugly but other than that it should be useful.

But as Phil stated "does it require work? Yes => No.", and for the reCAPTCHA there are plug-ins for MyBB that installs it directly into MyBB without having to modify any code.
I dont think its the same when it comes to the other two CAPTCHAs.
